DMR

DMR on your Android phone, tablet or radio.

Talk on DMR talkgroups over the internet, free, with no hotspot. On a supported radio, DMR also goes out over the air through the radio's own RF module.

What DMR is

DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) is a digital voice standard used in amateur radio. Calls go to talkgroups: shared channels that anyone on the network can join. DMR networks link repeaters and hotspots over the internet, so a call on a talkgroup reaches everyone on it.

In Unified Radios, DMR works two ways: over the internet, straight from the app, and over the air through the RF module of a supported radio. Both use the same radio face, so there is nothing to relearn when you switch.

Networks

DMR networks in the app.

Pick a network, a server and a talkgroup, and talk. Every list is refreshed daily.

  • BrandMeister

    Servers in many countries; log in with your BrandMeister hotspot password.

  • TGIF

    One server address; pick a talkgroup and log in with your TGIF security key.

  • ADN

    ADN's own server and talkgroup lists; log in with your ADN hotspot password.

  • AmComm

    US servers and AmComm's own talkgroup list, with up to four monitors.

  • HamUnited

    US servers and HamUnited's own lists; pick a talkgroup and switch with a tap.

  • XLX

    XLX reflectors over DMR: pick a reflector, then a module letter.

  • DVSPh

    One server, in the UK, with DVSPh's own talkgroup list and a TS1 or TS2 choice.

  • DMR+

    Servers across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Oceania, with a TS1 or TS2 choice.

  • FreeDMR

    Servers in many countries and FreeDMR's own talkgroup list, ready when you pair.

  • HBLink

    Independently run servers; you type the talkgroup number.

Over the network

Talkgroups without the lookups.

  • Group calls on a talkgroup, and private calls.
  • On most networks, up to four monitor talkgroups beside the one you talk on, and a tap on a call to switch to its talkgroup and reply.
  • On DMR+ and DVSPh, a TS1 or TS2 choice, remembered for each talkgroup and kept in your memories.
  • Caller names and cities from the DMR ID database kept on your device.

The app shows which codec is handling your audio: App, Radio, Home or Cloud. How the app handles voice codecs.

Over the air

DMR through your radio's RF module.

On a supported radio, your memories or the repeater directory set the frequency, color code, timeslot and talkgroup. No codeplug and no programming cable.

Questions

DMR questions.

Do I need a hotspot for DMR?

The app connects to DMR networks itself, over Wi-Fi or cellular. For DMR over the air, use a supported radio with an RF module.

Which DMR networks can I use?

BrandMeister, TGIF, ADN, AmComm, HamUnited, XLX, DVSPh, DMR+, FreeDMR and HBLink.

Which networks ask for a password?

BrandMeister, TGIF and ADN use a hotspot password or key from your account with that network. Save it once in the User Portal and every device you pair uses it.

Can I listen to more than one talkgroup?

Yes: on most DMR networks, add up to four monitor talkgroups beside the one you talk on. On TGIF, HamUnited and XLX you join one talkgroup and switch with a tap.
